<-- back This is the last film ever banned in the Soviet Union -- even though no-one  seems to agree if that's for obscene language, full frontal nudity, or invoking  the wisdom of Mikhail Gorbachev inside a mental asylum. In the film itself, no-one can agree on anything either: most arguments derail, and most characters  oscillate between short outbursts of violence and a deep, inexplicable fatigue.  Not even the film agrees with itself: it's one of the rare pieces of cinema  that are radically formalist and radically burlesque at the same time, and  while its structure -- the film-in-film, the twin characters, and several  scences that are happening twice -- may appear vaguely Lynchian, there is no  higher order or deeper mystery. When society falls apart, cinema must fall  apart, and Kira Muratova's film marks exactly that moment. It has been hailed  as "the most truthful cinematic reflection of life under perestroika", but it's never allegorical, and we might just as well stress that it contains the  most convincing cut to a dog shelter in the entire history of Russian cinema. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------                                                             pirate cinema berlin                                                                 u kottbusser tor                                                           sunday may 29, 8:30 pm                                                            the asthenic syndrome                                       kira muratova, 1990, 156 min, english subs                                                         https://0xdb.org/0096841                                                                   12 seats, rsvp                                                           first come first serve                                                        location in separate mail                                                                        trailers:                                   https://piratecinema.org/trailers/#20160529-01                                   https://piratecinema.org/trailers/#20160529-02 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------          ()          >< pirate cinema berlin www.piratecinema.org <-- back
